Uncanny Alley: A New Day

Live, immersive theatre in VR—step into the story, interact with characters, and experience performance like never before.

Uncanny Alley: A New Day, a collaboration by by Ferryman Collective and Virtual Worlds Company, had its world premiere at the 81st Venice International Film Festival, where it received the Fanheart3 XR Experience Award. It went on to win XR Must’s 2024 award for Best Interactivity/Performance and took 2nd place for Best Sound Design.

The Story:

Adaptive Learning Industries is about to launch the New Day update through legislation that passed with little public support. Uncanny Alley’s “Metizens” will soon feel the amnesia-like effects from weaponized Radio Frequency waves.

Cyberpunk hacker-whiz, Gh0st, breaks a group of protesters out of jail to lead them and her increasingly sentient Service-Bot, Atom, to safety through a hacked portal, out of the city and to a new metaverse. They must stick together, evade capture, and decide whether to leave Uncanny Alley or stay and fight for their freedom, and their home.

How it Works:

Virtual Reality Admission – Participate Live

Uncanny Alley: A New Day is a fully live VR performance featuring two actors who fluidly portray multiple characters. Audience members from around the world can attend using a Meta Quest 2, 3, 3s, Pro, or PCVR-compatible headset.

• To get the most out of this immersive experience:

• Enable your microphone so you can speak directly with the characters you encounter.

• Wear headphones to ensure clear audio and prevent feedback during the performance.

This is the full interactive version of the show — you’re not just watching, you’re part of the story.
